Hi Willy,
On the Diesbar engine, the two large cylinders either end are the steam cylinders, they rock back and forth like any other oscillator. The center green cylinder is fixed vertical, that is the air/condensate pump to condense the exhaust so 8t can be sent back to the feedwater tank for the boilers. The pipe in front down low is the inlet for the river water to help the condensation, that water circulates through and back to the river, not mixing with the boiler water.
As for not being a robot, I'm glad! Sounds like youtube threw a bot check at you, thats not something I can control. Hope it let you see the videos?
Chris

This morn8ng I got one antler for the moose shaped down, ready for final trimming before pinning to his skull (ow!) One more day or so and I should be ready to assemble him, then get a couple coats of clear sealer on before the thin wash coats of paint. Also getting my wood shop areas cleaned up and rearranged, one of those three year and two day kind of projects...

:ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: Good luck with antler attachment and woodworking shop cleanup. I'm on yard cleanup light duties today. Shouldn't be more than 17,056 cubic yards of leftover fall leaves to handle.... :Lol:
